Google Buzz gets a Legal Hit

The punches keep on rolling. Google Buzz now has a local class action complaint filed over it.

A class action complaint filed in San Jose federal court alleges that Google Inc. broke the law when its controversial Google Buzz service shared personal data without the consent of users.

The case was filed on Wednesday on behalf of Eva Hibnick, a Florida woman, by law firms in San Francisco and Washington, D.C. William Audet of Audet & Partners LLP in San Francisco declined to comment.

The filing is the latest in a string of criticisms generated by the Mountain View Internet giant’s social networking tool, since it launched last week.
